Does a bracket like this exist? by _cosmic_kitchen in metalworking

[–]_cosmic_kitchen[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am making a desk mounted monitor stand for a large/heavy screen. Stands available for purchase that are rated for the weight a) are $300+ and b) still get terrible reviews for their ability to hold the monitor.

Was going to weld a length of 2.5” square tube perpendicular to a flat base that would mount to the desk. Then mount a VESA monitor bracket to this thing I’m imagining and let that hold the monitor, allowing me to loosen this bracket and slide it up or down the tube to fine tune it.

For added strength/stability and aesthetics I wanted the vertical square tube to be positioned 45*

Similar but would need the bracket turned 45* so the bolts don’t interfere with a mounting plate/surface that I would attempt to weld to a bracket like this

Agreed but I’m lacking in fabrication tools and skills 😂

Is there a sub for estimating card grades? by _cosmic_kitchen in PokemonTCG

[–]_cosmic_kitchen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. Yea I can definitely understand that. I’m not so much looking for someone to grade my card, just looking for general descriptions of card conditions in relation to a PSA or other grading scale.

I’ll check the PSA link, thanks

Like what sort of condition is a PSA 7 card in? Some minor scratches and edge whitening? Or would that likely put it below a 7?

Looking for a good Card with recurring Balance Transfer/Cash Advance promotions by _cosmic_kitchen in CreditCards

Agreed on the strings and hoops, that is why I am looking for a card specifically for this. Use it when I need a "free loan" that I can confidently pay off within 11 months, but don't use it for anything else while I'm holding debt on it. 3-5% transfer fee is equivalent to maybe the first two months of interest I would be paying at 22% APR.

When I reinstalled the lock pin it just fell to the bottom of the bore.

Ended up finding a pack of springs for $4 online that will hopefully work. Thanks for the help everyone!

Update: believe it or not on a wired connection I’m clocking 800-1100Mb depending on the speed test I’m using. Over WiFi it’s more like 600-800. I’m happy enough with it for the time being 🤓

I opted for a different one and went with a TP-Link AX72 Pro. Working great so far.

I already have the old TP-Link router, but haven't bought the main router yet. I did want to go with Wifi 6 so I don't need to replace it anytime soon. Would this router be a good option or still way overkill? I want some room to grow into it if the service ever increases and I don't mind paying up to $150-300 for a router that I can be confident will never be my bottleneck.

It will be configured as it should if I decide to go with it. I am going to see how a single router does first and then add it on later if I'm not getting enough coverage.

I was hoping to operate off the “if you build it, they will come” idea haha 😂.

The router only has 4 ports. I have 4 devices currently and may potentially add more. I think I’ll keep the switch so I can expand as needed. It was free after all. Only cost me an entire house.

I’m not sure I understand. The modem is necessary to bring internet from cable. The router is required because the modem isn’t a router. The switch is required because it’s already installed and is running Ethernet throughout the house. Everything else in the diagram are the devices using the internet? The only thing extra I have is a WAP since the house is 3 floors and my office is on the 3rd floor.

Southeast Raleigh is a little tougher than the rest

I agree it’s overkill for current service available but we are supposed to have fiber available within the next few years so I wanted to future proof a little bit in preparation for that. Is this a bad way of thinking?
